Review
The Alexander Cipher 'The action crackles along' Daily Mail

Product Description
Fact collides with fiction in Will Adams second pulse-pounding adventure featuring the enigmatic Daniel Knox - hero of The Alexander Cipher Fact collides with fiction in Will Adams second pulse-pounding adventure featuring the enigmatic Daniel Knox. On the trail of a Dead Sea Scroll, Knox stumbles across an ancient temple being surreptitiously excavated by evangelical Christians outside Alexandria. A chase ends in tragedy with the death of Alexandria's senior archaeologist, and Knox the chief suspect. Meanwhile, Knox's partner Gaille Bonnard is baby-sitting a television crew around the ancient city of Amarna, home of the multiple mysteries of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Kidnapped by rogue soldiers, her time fast running out, she sends Knox a message hidden in a hostage video, pleading with him to come to her rescue. But Knox has problems of his own, under arrest on suspicion of murder, locked in a police cell half a country away. And the only way for him to find and save her is to crack one of the great unsolved mysteries of the ancient world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and fast, but too many perspectives - less would more here, 31 Jan 2009
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
After his debut novel "The Alexander Cipher" Will Adams's second novel features Mr. Knox in another Egyptian adventure and another huge discovery. All is based on the assumption that there is a link between the only two monotheistic religion of the ancient world: the Jewish and the cult of Aten. Is the Jewish faith based on the Aten cult of Aktenaten and Nefertiti? From various perspectives the quest is told: a Christian religious fanatic who wants to find the first and only picture of Jesus Christ and his hate of all homosexuals, mere tomb robbers, a police officer investigating the death of a girl, a pompous but TV popular historian looking for fame and money and a hostage situation in which Knox tries to liberate his girlfriend. Well, I suppose that is a bit much and tends to get confusing at times as there is a constant shift of perspective. Maybe less is more here. Certain aspects are not very convincing, especially the last scenes when the tomb of Aktenaten is discovered. However this novel has its moments: it is fast and partly very gripping. Some of Will Adams's characters are very well portraied. I especially like his portrayal of the pompous scholar and TV presenter Stafford and of the Christian fanatic preacher. It is not at all a boring book and entertains one well. I can recommend it as I enjoyed it, but one should not get one hopes too high.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better..., 6 Jan 2009
Despite its title, this is more Clive Cussler than Dan Brown. It begins with an episode in the 5th century before placing us in the present day. So far so good. Only this prologue was never explained and only partially mentioned in the epilogue.

Daniel Knox is the main hero of the book, an archaelogist in Egypt, but Adams seeks to introduce us to all the characters at the beginning which I found a bit confusing as it kept jumping to different characters in different places, some of whom I couldn't remember.

By the middle, the story is underway, although Adams now heads off into Brown territory with theories about Gnostic heresies, along with various Pharaoahs & Moses, all told from a secular / historical perspective.

Fortunately, by the third part of the book, the pace and story pick up and it finishes well.

Overall, not as good as The Alexander Cipher, his first book.

4.0 out of 5 stars History a turn-on for me, 29 April 2009
By Georgina Faye (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
Well, I liked it. Fast-moving, interesting kaleidoscope of plots all lurching together in a knock-out denouement, and best of all fascinating history. Maybe if the history isn't a big part of the reason you're reading this it's not going to be that fantastic a read; Dan Brown's stuff is more stomach-punching and the characters don't fall over in a light breeze. But even so there are some interesting characters here, and real tension and suspense, and good illumination of how modern-day Egypt works - I was in Egypt when I read it so a smart perspective. The historical theory though was the major turn-on for me; Biblical and Akhenaten hypotheses melded together was just bliss! And I like the way the author didn't dodge the possibilities at the end; this is fiction and we are treated like intelligent readers who recognise the fact.

It's all too easy to unpick and find fault with, but do we read books like this for literary writing and beautifully drawn characters who do convincing things? Of course we don't. A good entertaining read.
